'''Goh's Scizor''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのハッサム''' ''Go's Hassam'') is the twelfth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his thirteenth overall.

==In the anime==
[[File:Goh Scyther.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Scyther]]
{{p|Scizor}} debuted as a {{p|Scyther}} in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', where it was the last {{type|Bug}} Pokémon native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] that [[Goh]] needed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. It easily repelled Goh's {{i|Poké Ball}} and sent him and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} flying. Later, Goh battled the Mantis Pokémon briefly with his Scorbunny before finally catching it. Afterwards, it was seen with all of his other Pokémon before [[Professor Cerise]] suggested leaving it at his [[Cerise Laboratory|Laboratory]].

In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Goh used Scyther in his first [[Pokémon battle]] during the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. It battled [[Hodge]]'s {{p|Mightyena}}, where it used {{m|Swords Dance}} before quickly falling to Mightyena's {{m|Fire Fang}}.

In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Goh used Scyther alongside some of his other Bug Pokémon to find the bone of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Cubone}}, which he later caught.

During a food shortage in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', Scyther led a group of Goh's Bug-type Pokémon during a rebellion; and they targeted {{TP|Goh|Darmanitan}}, {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Grimer}}, {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Ekans}}, and {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Stantler}}. When {{TP|Goh|Golurk}} lost control, Scyther protected Goh's three {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Dustox|Cascoon}}.

In [[JN056]], Scyther volunteered for a training challenge hosted by [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Hall of Chivalry]], alongside {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Farfetch'd}}. In the first phase, the group is stopped by a {{p|Probopass}} belonging to the Elite trainer, with great difficulty the group manages to go through this round. In the second phase, Goh and Scyther enter a maze where they separate from the rest of the group. This time, the two have to collaborate while being attacked by Pokémon on the way.

In the final part of the challenge, Scyther battled against Wikstrom's {{p|Aegislash}}, until Ash and Goh decided to let Ash and Farfetch'd battle it, while Goh and Scyther attempted to catch Wikstrom's {{p|Klefki}}, which was carrying a key required to pass the challenge. They eventually succeeded, earning each of the participating Trainers and Pokémon a medal each. Afterwards, Wikstrom offered to help Goh [[evolution|evolve]] his Scyther. Goh agreed to this, and Wikstrom gave Scyther a [[Metal Coat]] to hold, before it was transferred through a [[trade machine]], causing the Mantis Pokémon to evolve into Scizor.

In [[JN060]], Goh used Scizor in a {{pkmn|training}} battle against [[Ash's Farfetch'd]], during which it was shown to have learned {{m|X-Scissor}}. The battle ended without a proper victor as both Pokémon began tiring out and were subsequently taken to be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Goh and Scizor.png|thumb|left|250px|Scizor and Goh]]
Scizor  is a fast and powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, thus Goh had the most trouble catching it out of all the other [[Kanto]]-native {{t|Bug}} types he went after. It is enthusiastic about battling and staying active. In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', it followed [[Mimey]]'s kung-fu exercises and was later seen shadow-boxing in an effort to get Goh's attention to bring it to the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]; in [[JN056]], it rushed to Goh wanting to participate in the training challenge hosted by [[Wikstrom]]. Scizor is also shown to have a quick temper, as seen in ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'' when Scyther began chasing a group of {{p|Geodude}} that threw snowballs at it. These behaviors particularly contrast with [[Goh's Pinsir]], who tried to avoid being selected for the Flute Cup and gets along with Goh's smaller Pokémon like {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Caterpie}}. However, despite its rough demeanor, Scyther enjoys a hug, as seen in ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', when it accepted one from [[Ash's Dragonite]].

After its capture, Scizor quickly became one of Goh's most used Pokémon, next to {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Despite its strength and confidence, however, Goh and Scizor are not as in sync with each other compared to Cinderace, and Goh's cautious strategy in the first round of the Flute Cup led to Scyther's quick defeat. Scyther didn't appear too upset by the loss, returning from the [[Pokémon Center]] for another battle. Like Scorbunny, it seemed more concerned with how hard Goh was taking his first defeat. From [[JN056]] onwards, Goh and Scyther are more aligned with each other, managing to pass the goals proposed by Wikstrom as a true team.

Scizor is protective of other Pokémon, as seen in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', when it shielded a group of Goh's {{t|Bug}} types from {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Darmanitan}}'s attack. Scizor is also a natural leader, as demonstrated when it commanded Goh's Bug-types to attack Darmanitan and its allies.
